There's nothing more adorable than piggies eating. My grandaughter and I came back to my house after a movie (school summer hols here) in time to give the piggies their tea. Both of us are sitting there staring ooohing an aaaahing at every piece of food picked up, every mouth movement. And when they got into the cos lettuce, both of us went "do you hear the crunch!"

I love the idea of secret valentine. How cute!

I love this idea too - 18 piggies here with us who would happily send some Valentine's/Easter gifts to the rescue piggies xoxo

My boys would happily send some valentines.... to girlies or boys, they aren't fussy... (Suilven prefers boars though! :))
 
Well there seems to be several people who would love to go ahead with a secret Valentine. How do we get this going? Ask Vicky to pair us up again? If this doesn't get organised I am going to be secret Valentine to my secret Santa piggies now that I know where they live!
 
With regards to Secret Santa, I've been speaking with Sue at Cavy Corner. Her husband Winston is seriously ill in hospital (Sue is spending most of her time with him - but the piggies are being well looked after), so they have still not been able to open the Secret Santa gifts. Sue wants to reassure everyone that the piggies are very appreciative of everything that has been sent - the gifts are under the tree and will remain there until Winston is able to join in the opening - and they will post pictures as soon as they can afterwards.

I know it's hard waiting to see them, but I'm sure you'll join me in sending love to Sue and Winston, and "feel better soon" thoughts to him. They need as much support as we can give them.
 
Send Sue our best wishes for her hubbys recovery.
Regarding secret valentine we could just do the piggies we already used for secret santa. So as not to make work for anyone?

Was this the gorgeous boy I brought up to you? (who nearly didn't get there - if he had been a girl, umm, there might have been an extra little face in my cage! x))

I just wanted to add my thanks to the rescues for taking the time to put up photos. I have seen my piggy with his presents and it really did make my day! xx>>>

Is anyone still waiting to see photos of their piggies receiving presents (other than Cavy Corner as we know there is a delay)? If so, please send me a private message and I will chase up the rescues.

Thanks, Sharon. x
 
We've recieved a parcel for Juniper will update with photo's once I have a few moments either tomorrow or Wednesday

Thank you Secret Santa it looks like she's been a very lucky lady.
 
Thank you from TEAS!

Sorry for the delay in posting pics, but it has been so manic at the Sanctuary, with the normal workload plus a new influx of residents! Anyhow, here are the Secret Santa pics!


Bill and Ted getting very spoilt! They loved it all though!

Hope I've managed to get the right thank yous to the right photos! We'd like to send a huge thank you to everyone who sent gifts to the piggies at The Excellent Adventure Sanctuary - I don't know who had more fun, the pigs or us trying to get photos of them!
 
I still have 2 presents here that i havent done photos for. I haven't opened the gifts as I want to do it properly I am just really struggling for time. I will try and get them done today/tomorrow
 
If you PM the organisers they will be able to contact the rescue for you to see if the rescue has received it so that you dont give it away haha!

Rescues can be busy at this time of year I expect due to unwanted "presents" from over christmas.
 
Suze from Cavy Corner has asked me to update. Winston is very ill, and has spent much of the time since Christmas in hospital. He's now home, but is awaiting a liver transplant, which is why the piggies' Secret Santa gifts have still not been opened. Their lives are in a state of complete upheaval right now - the gifts will be distributed in due course, and she hopes you will all understand the situation. Of course, nobody could have foreseen this happening, back when the Secret Santa was arranged.
